As a rule I don't recommend but I would recommend this pen to anyone who likes a smooth writer! Also like the fact the cap is removable because I never hand anyone the cap if they need to use my pen. AND that wayI get it back every time :).

I was looking for something better than Bic ball point pens that smudge and don't want to start writing. I happened upon these gel pens and thought I'd give them a try. O-M-G I fell in love with these pens. They are so smooth, they don't smudge, and start writing with no "false starts". My husband even like them. He told me to order some more of those really good pens. Bye bye Bic!

Gel pens were a hot new toy about five years ago. Most people quickly realized that they don't last long and opted for other types but some people really like the way gel writers write and will put up with frequent replacement of their pen for the pleasure of the smooth skip free writing experience. There are generic cel writers, but the original Zebra Jumnie gels are so much better that most people who like gel pens will notice right away if you substitute house brand for Zebras. Also, house brands tend to run out even faster.

I use these pens for everyday business and personal use. They're great. Only con is that you will need to give it a minute to dry if you are writing on glossy paper, but just about every pen needs time to dry on glossy paper.
